it doesnt sound horrible, it sounds alright, he didnt try to make a competion, all you kids are makin a competiotion he enjoyed the song and did a cover like alot of people do with akons music or any other artist music, just listin to it and keep ur negative comments to ya fuckin selves
we should all be gratefull the american wanted to cover a english song, think like this we always cover there songs so take the compliment he even attempted this, ok fair enough james morrison sang it better, afterall he was there from the start of making this song it was fit around his voice. im english so yes i say james morrison sings it better, BUT Akon had balls to cover a song out of his comfort zone!
@rugbychris94 im ashamed of you! by your name, i can guess that your name is chris, you dont deserve that name! it is too awesome for you! and anyway, no, its not an awesome song, its really bad, i mean, no offence to the guy, i have his album Trouble, he's a good rapper and small time singer, but singing a full song? no no no, its just.......... no
People!!!!!!!! If Akon went on American Idol and sang this song in front of the judges he would be laughed at. His pitch is so off key, he has no vibrato, and his voice has no character its just bland. He sounds the same exact boring way in every song he sings. James Morrison is a REAL SINGER!
@SKBX4490 well you have a point...mabye...but thats just him. not everyone is an american idol, and that's just the way he sings. you just have to deal with the fact that just because he can't sing like those people doesn't mean he can't sing at all. he's freaking good. respect the guy's attempt. geez..
Nah bro, he's a very below average singer. He relies on hot beats and auto tune to make his voice sound good on tracks. I listen to artist like Brian Mcknight, Stevie Wonder, Boyz II Men, so it upsets me when people call Akon a great singer because thats not the case at all. Listen to real singers and artist who are great and write their own music.
@SKBX4490 thank you!! i dont mean to sound like an asshole, but he doesn't have the right to butcher this song. after hearing this, i really appreciate james morrison's singing alot more. lol
@SKBX4490 thank you sooooo much for saying that. It's true. He isn't really a singer. So many people could be famous if they put together great beats to match their voice. They just picked Akon. Nowadays anyone could be famous...Don't get me wrong, Akon's music is cool, but that's like lady gaga singing a Whitney Houston song(Whitney Houston before the crack), like I Will Always Love You. She'd ruin in.
@bbgirl1234 i disagree. akon is a great singer but now he is commercial, you should listen his album "trouble" ith great lyrics and great songs like lonely(sample of bobby vinton) or ghetto where he shows his skills like high tenor(said by critics)
moreover you should listen his song ghetto acapella in senegal. it´s amazing. moreover this is not his style.
@rugbychris94 Twat? and did i say i can do better then akon? no.
he is a shit singer in general and people only like his music for the beat, not his lyrics or anything. he sounds like a chipmunk.
and i was implying that the original artist who sings this song kicks his ass when it comes to vocals. heck, all those unknown singers on youtube kicks akons ass at this song and they dont even have a record deal.
great channel, thanks! If you want to, you can contact me, I'm the webmaster of akon-online(dot)net, it would be cool if we could work togther. And of course for anyone else, if someone wants to get in touch with me and akon-online(dot)net, leave me a message.
everyone is just saying akon is shit in this song because his vocals are all over the place complete and utter shit whereas JM has good vocals without having to modify them so dont try and bring race into this coz its completely unnecessary
i agree that this is total shit, and England has great talent, but the States have put out many many brilliant artists. look at Hendrix and Dylan, you about cant beat that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is just proof that england is so much more sane and tanlented then he states. It is not fair people like akon get millions of having a bassline cover their terrible voice and james morrison had to struggle to get to the top and he is brilliant.
they get millions cos the record companies that advertise them through their country. the usa is a hella bigger country than the uk = more fan base + record sales = money, recognition and popularity
This version of this song is HORRIBLE and he should stick to what he does and not try to cover any of James Morrison's songs ever again. James Morrison is a waaay better artist than Akon can EVER be.
TBH it dont matter if u like him or not people buy his records and he makes more money than we do so if he cant sing for shit lets see some of u bring out a song well watch as u FAIL
oh. my. fuck.....that was abismal.. i now ever regret listening to akon tunes?! All clearly edited to make his voice sound immense... from this video he clearly is wank at singing. i dont have a clue about all this pitch/vocal etc that people judge singers on and i'd like to.. but i know enough to know this was cringeworthy! Ive also heard that rihanna's voice is really edited when it coems to recording etc and she doesnt have a real voice.. is this true?
fcuk ye, i heard her singing disturbia on some live chat show and it was very cringeworthy as u would so evidently put it!! its all comps aint it these days, tbf i dont reali no what im talkin about wen it comes to editin n all tht but i no alot wen it comes to singing n Rihanna dont pull it off
u chat shit man!! nowadays alot of songs are copied! so stop the hatin... akon has had the most successful 2years (2007/08) so stop the hatin, cos hatin is jealousy!!
oooh crap soz bout that G4ngst3r18... i marked yar comment as spam by accident.... i gave ya a thumbs up for that ^_^ .... what i meant was he's changing his singing style not the song.... and i'm not a hater lol..... "jelousy" warra guy why would i be jelouse
